SUMMARY: The real ending for 'Heros'!


Doyle: "What does that thing do?"

Angel: "Its light kills anything with human blood."

Doyle: "Well, it's getting brighter and that doohickey - it's fully armed, isn't it?"

Angel: "Almost. If I pull the cable, I think I can still shut it off."

Doyle: "How're you gonna do that without touching the light?"

Cordy: "Angel, that's suicide."

Doyle: "There's got to be another way."

Angel looks at the demons in the hold then at Cordy

Angel: "It's all right."

Cordy: "No!"

Angel puts a hand on Doyle's shoulder. Doyle puts his hand on Angel's arm

Doyle: "The good fight, yeah? - You never know until you've been tested. - I get that now."

Doyle hauls back and hits Angel with a hard right to the chin, knocking him down into the cargo hold. Doyle turns to Cordy and they kiss. There is a strange blue light between their lips just before they part. Doyle steps back.

Doyle: "Too bad we'll never know (Morphs into his demons face) if this is a face you could learn to love."

Rieff frowns and shakes his head.

Rieff: Yeah. You will find out.

Rieff shoves Doyle out of the way and runs to the light.

Angel picks himself up of the floor of the cargo hold, runs over to the ladder and climbs back up.

Demon: "Rieff. Rieff, no"

Rieff jumps over to the beacon just before Angel reaches the platform. He grabs a hold of its metal frame, turns his head and smiles at the demon (his father), Doyle, Angel and Cordy.

Demon: "Rieff!"

He pulls the cable apart eventually and dies.
